Display device and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display device including a substrate having a display area and a non-display area; a thin film transistor in the display area over the substrate; a first dam at least partially overlapping the thin film transistor; an adhesive layer inside the first dam; a light-emitting element provided on the adhesive layer and including a semiconductor layer, a first element electrode on the semiconductor layer, a second element electrode on the semiconductor layer and disposed higher than the first element electrode, and a protection layer on the first element electrode, the second element electrode, and the semiconductor layer and including a first opening partially exposing a top surface of the first element electrode and a second opening partially exposing a top surface of the second element electrode; and a planarization layer provided over the adhesive layer and surrounding a side surface of the light-emitting element and a side surface of the protection layer. Further, the planarization layer has a hydrophobic property and the protection layer has a hydrophilic property, and the first dam surrounds the light-emitting element with a height of the first element electrode being disposed lower than a height of the first dam, and a height of the second element electrode being disposed higher than the height of the first dam.
